Hey
I feel like an idiot asking this question, but how would I make a sound loop when the hearts are low, on Goodnight's Oot heart engine?
I think I might have the solution but I don't know if it's right, and it may consistantly play the sound, so here it is:
Code: [Select]
if global.Heart<=2.75{
sound_loop(global.lowheart_S)}
Thanks a lot:

Surely you could add a second bit of code that if global.Heart>2.75, you could end the loop? I dunno, I'm none too good at coding...

the thing is when it plays changes depending on the amount of Heart containers you have. so you'll have to add that variable too.

if I put it in the step event, it will make an annoying sound playing the sound constantly for every step of frames.
But I'll try anyways ;)

EDIT:  Just as I suspected... didn't work...

change it to sound_play, then add an additional check to see if the sound is playing

Thanks.
But what would I have to put to do the check? DX
I am just a little stressed right now, so I can't think properly, sorry.

I think it's something like if the hearts are less than 1/3 of the total, then the sound plays. So maybe check if the heart number is less than the total div 3 or just divided by 3.

like this

Code: [Select]
if (global.heart)<=(global.totalheart div 3){
    if !sound_playing {
        sound_play(global.lowheart_S)
    }
}

I had to make a few modification to that code, but thanks for it! :)
I always forget about that little "!" XD

EDIT: It's playing three of the sounds at a time, now :\

I won't send my file that I am actually making my game in, but I will send the engine I used for the hearts.
The code doesn't work there either.
Give me a sec, and I'll upload it in the edit of this post.

Here ya go :):

Create a variable called "playcount" in your create event, and set it to 0. Then, in the step event, use this code:

Code: [Select]
if (global.hearts)<=(global.totalhearts div 3){
    playcount = (playcount + 1) mod 30;
    if(playcount == 0) {
        sound_play(Low);
    }
} else {
    playcount = 0;
}

It plays it once a second (with a room speed of 30).
